Warlock Melee Is Broken
Warlock melee [b]not abilities[/b] has much larger range than all the other classes.
It's also a semi AOE, it hits in a [b]area[/b] in front and to the sides of the user rather than just a direction. The area in which the attack takes effect only effects a single person at a given time, but that doesn't take away from the fact that it is a AOE (area of effect).
The warlock melee is much easier to land hits with. Not only that, the warlock melee has zero travel time, while the blink strike must lunge towards the opponent.
Guaranteeing that in a melee battle, not only will the warlock have the easiest time aiming their melee attack. Their melee is guaranteed to hit first.
This makes it [b]extremely[/b] easy to use, and instead of it requiring skill, people just spam it.
I even see people spam their melee after they have shot a bullet, even if the enemy is already dead, just in case. A warlock even once told me, that he calls his melee, his second shotgun.
[b]Base[/b] Warlock melee: longer range + AOE + no travel time = unbalanced
Plain and simple.
Edit 1: Another problem the [b]base[/b] warlock melee is even more effective and reliable than even the blink strike for the hunter. Which is an [b]ability[/b] with a [b]cooldown[/b].
That is a serious problem that needs to be addressed.

7 RepliesSure the warlock range is a bit ridiculous but a area of affect (aoe) what are you one? The only time that can happen is when we have either equipped bloom or something to make scorch victims explode. And just because we want to make sure our enemy is dead right after we fire bullets inside someone doesn't make us op, just shows that we are smarter to make sure people may not have survived. This is coming from a experienced warlock.

2 RepliesYou haven't even played destiny, wtf man?
-
Yeah the Hunters knife throw has a much less range than the Warlock's melee attack.....And the Melee isn't a one shot kill either....You have to break the opponents shield, and dwindle his health down a little in order for it to be fully effective...
-
2 RepliesIs it broken all the way in half? If it's just a hairline fracture you should walk it off. Best wishes, Hope everything turns out ok...

4 RepliesThe classes are balanced well enough. They are [b]not[/b] supposed to all at the same. Learn your strengths and their counters, learn your weaknesses and how to overcome them.
-
4 RepliesThey also have the slowest melee reset. I can get two melee in on hunter in the same time they get one
-
damn the immature has arrived..
-
4 RepliesYea I gotta agree I main a warlock because the melee has 0 travel time if a hunter blink strikes and an average warlock punches assuming both are 1 hit warlock will win 90% of the time because the hunter has to lunge . But to be on both sides of the argument titan shoulders and hunters can throw a knife which could stand a good buff honestly if you hit a crit knife it deserves to kill.
-
Hunter gets knives and Titans get shoulder charge... Warlocks are magic and don't physically touch you. Why does everyone need to cry?
-
1 ReplyI have used my fully charged void melee at titans and thy havent died. I get hit with a titan melee and I drop like a box of rocks. Evety class has an advantage/disadvantage.
-
4 RepliesOh no Deej replied.... Prepare for world war nerf 5.
-
2 RepliesIm a warlock and i agree.

4 RepliesDude when your lv32 then complain but all the classes are fine get use to the gameplay!

1 ReplyI don't know why everyone is shaming this post, the op is completely right. Why not decrease the warlock base melee to 4m like how it was intended in the strategy guide? Let their melee cd be 6m idc but atleast drop their base to what titans and hunters have. That would be fair.
-
Yup bump. Warlock melee way op, now que the crybabies.
-
Its only a one hit kill once radiance is active! Harden up. [spoiler]+ 25 tears collected [/spoiler]
-
Maybe you just complain too much. It's fine
-
2 RepliesIt's not broken. It was intentional. Warlocks are wizards hands down. What? So now we should remove the hunters ability to turn invisible or have a throwing knife? I don't think so, everything should be as it is.
-
5 RepliesThere is no aoe. Unless you have something like bloom on you can't hit more than one enemy. Warlock melee is fine.
-
1 ReplyWe've run out of things to complain about in PvP. Wait a sec, no we haven't!!!
-
4 RepliesWell blink and shoulder charge are one hit kills. So I think there "broken" and the shoulder charge doesn't even have a cool down. Oh and how "broken" arc blade is.
-
i main warlock and i agree. u dnt even have to aim it. almost 5k control kills and this is the most unbalenced part of the classes
-
another noob wanting a Nerf from bungie...
-
It functions the same as the other classes melee, the other two classes leap towards you and can close distance the warlocks melee is just the inverse of that so instead of leaping forward the melee is projected out so there's no real difference and serves the same purpose.
-
4 RepliesDeej this dude is a joke. If warlocks lose their semi aoe longer range melee then titans have to lose their no cooldown 3 seconds run to charge one hit shoulder charge. BOOM. Sorry dude but warlocks have to have something going for them. Hunter and titan have many thing better than warlock. Warlock has nothing special to kill with. We will keep out 2 foot reach melee. Thanx.
